The science of entomology is the study of insects and allied organisms. These animals belong to the Phyla Arthropoda. Within the Phyla, there are two classes, 1. the Arachnida, and 2. the Insecta.
A variety of marine worms (Annelida and Protoannelida) lived in the ocean sediments during the Cambrian period. These creatures were bilaterally symmetrical, soft-bodied, and multisegmented. They had no distinct head capsule and lacked both eyes and antennae.

The arthropods are the most numerous of the animal phyla, including nearly one million known species (and more are being discovered all of the time!) Arthropods are found in almost all conceivable habitats, and feed on a great variety of materials.
Arthropoda from canopy tropical deciduous forest was sampled. Tweny four major taxa were found. Collembola was the most abundant group (95% of total abundance), followed by Acarida (1.25%) and Hymenoptera (0.90%).
Classification of Arthropods. Arthropods have been traditionally divided into three groups based on morphological characters. However, recent research suggests a restructuring of arthropod classification is needed. General Characteristics of Arthropods.
